What is the theoretical bare minimum amount of time required to write a novel?
)
May 27th, 2013
Early today we had a question about the length of a typical novel. My question now is: how long does it take to write a novel?
In practically, most of the time spent will be spent thinking. It takes a lot of time to think through a novel and come up with enough ideas to make the plot interesting.
This question, however, is only concerned the amount of time that is spent physically writing the novel.
Lets assume that I am a super-genius who already knows every last letter of the novel that I want to write. If I have a pen with unlimited ink and and infinite supply of college-ruled notebook paper, how long will will it take me to write down my novel?
If we were to replace the paper with a computer, how long would it take?
